I Can Use Myriad Divine Abilities-Chapter 151: The Might of Divine Soldiers

The size of this box was not very large, but it was heavy and substantial.

The box itself was quite unique, with wooden textures on its surface, yet even after being buried in underwater mud for who knows how long, there was not a trace of decay.

An antique bronze-colored lock still hung from the lid.

Zhang Yuan tore the lock off directly.

When he opened the lid, the contents inside were immediately revealed to his eyes.

At this moment, Zhang Yuan’s mind was filled with only one word: "Damn!"

Because inside the box, it was stuffed full of gold bars!

Due to the excellent sealing of the wooden box, no water or mud had entered before Zhang Yuan opened the lid.

So these gold bars were as pristine as if they had just been cast. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Not only that, but the surface of the gold bars was embossed with the words "Ten Taels of Pure Gold".

Zhang Yuan roughly estimated that there were at least a hundred gold bars in the box.

At ten taels per bar, that amounted to a thousand taels of gold.

Equivalent to ten thousand taels of silver!

He was getting rich.

Though Zhang Yuan had seen big money before, this unexpected windfall still filled him with joy and excitement.

He realized that this sunken ship was extremely large, and he had only searched a small part of it so far.

Yet he had already found this box of gold bars.

Could there be other treasures on the ship?

The answer was almost certainly yes!

More importantly, Zhang Yuan’s mind was opened to a true path to riches.

The Three Rivers, Four Seas, and Five Lakes, along with countless rivers and watersheds, have buried unknown numbers of sunken ships throughout history.

With the extraordinary abilities of the White Dragon Loach, Zhang Yuan could accomplish what others could not, acquiring wealth by searching for and scavenging sunken ships to support his Krypton Gold Martial Dao cultivation!

At this moment, a stealthy shadow appeared behind Zhang Yuan without a sound.

Its entire body was covered with algae-like dark green water plants, barely distinguishing the head, torso, and limbs, with its eyes glowing with a ghostly light, fixated on the back of Zhang Yuan’s head.

Like a ravenous beast seeing a delicious meal!

The Water Ghost slowly crept closer to Zhang Yuan, raising its right arm as its palm sprouted three sharp black claws.

The next instant, the Water Ghost’s claws suddenly thrust toward Zhang Yuan’s neck!

Its ambush was extremely sudden and ferocious.

However, Zhang Yuan, as if he had eyes on the back of his head, spun around at the critical moment. In his left hand, he held a blood-red dagger, stabbing it into the Water Ghost’s chest first.

In fact, Zhang Yuan had already sensed the Water Ghost when it appeared.

A warning from the Divine Nest!

Ever since the Divine Nest evolved to Level 3, not only had Zhang Yuan’s perception ability greatly improved, but it also issued immediate warnings when anything strange approached, alerting him to impending danger.

Ever since entering this sunken ship, Zhang Yuan had been on constant guard against the presence of anything unusual.

This time, something truly strange did appear!

Under such circumstances, it would be a wonder if the Water Ghost succeeded in ambushing him.

What surprised Zhang Yuan was.

At the instant the Red Blood Saber pierced the Water Ghost, he felt a numbness in his tiger’s mouth (web between thumb and forefinger).

A wisp of blood was drawn out and injected into this Divine Soldier!

The Red Blood Saber immediately erupted with numerous bursts of vibrant blood-red light, instantly penetrating the Water Ghost’s body.

Squeak!

The Water Ghost’s body stiffened, emitting a low groan.

Its body was shredded into pieces by the saber’s aura, disintegrating into ash in an instant.

Its remnants dissolved quickly into the water, disappearing from sight!

Zhang Yuan paused, dumbfounded.

Zhang Yuan had possessed the Red Blood Saber for some time, always kept within his left hand, and used sparingly.

Even now, his understanding and mastery of this Divine Soldier remained at a very basic level.

Because Zhang Yuan’s current cultivation level was low, he was not yet qualified to become a Master of Divine Soldiers.

He could only simply use this weapon.

Even weapons one tier below the Divine Soldiers, the Profound Soldiers, had the ability to restrain strange entities.

What effect would a genuine Divine Soldier have in dealing with strangeness?

This was something Zhang Yuan had always wanted to know.

Now, with the chance to verify, he unhesitatingly unleashed the Red Blood Saber.

Giving the Water Ghost that ambushed him a striking blow.

The power of the Red Blood Divine Soldier did not disappoint Zhang Yuan, vanquishing the formidable entity in a single strike.

However, the price was that the Divine Soldier extracted a wisp of Zhang Yuan’s blood.

And he did not obtain any Source Material!

Previously, when Zhang Yuan activated the Blood Burning Technique to kill strange entities, he did not need sacrificial offerings or exorcisms and could obtain Source Material directly.

It seemed that by relying on the Red Blood Saber’s power, all benefits were swallowed by this Divine Soldier!

Ultimately, it was a tradeoff.

Zhang Yuan could only comfort himself this way.

After all, possessing this Divine Soldier meant having a killer move against strange entities.

Not acquiring Source Material wasn’t crucial.

What mattered was its life-saving capability in critical moments.

One should never be too greedy!

Moreover, who knows, once Zhang Yuan can truly wield the Red Blood Saber, this situation might change.

He composed himself, preparing to leave with the golden box.

Yet once again, unforeseen circumstances arose!

Without any forewarning, one Water Ghost after another barged into the cabin.

They launched ferocious attacks on Zhang Yuan, with claws outstretched.

Zhang Yuan was about to retract the Red Blood Saber into his body. Witnessing this, he immediately engaged in a flowing battle against the Water Ghosts.

Even without agility boosted, he moved swiftly and nimbly in the water.

Utilizing the Ripple Step body technique, Zhang Yuan skillfully evaded the encirclement of two Water Ghosts, while fiercely retaliating with the Red Blood Saber held in his left hand.

Whenever it hit a target, the Divine Soldier would draw Zhang Yuan’s blood and then utterly destroy the Water Ghost!

One strike, one kill.

This instant-kill experience made Zhang Yuan feel both pain and exhilaration.

The pain was naturally from the continuous loss of blood, and the exhilaration came from the slaughter’s thrill!

In just ten breaths, seven Water Ghosts became the ghosts under Zhang Yuan’s saber.

As the slaughter increased, the Divine Soldier in Zhang Yuan’s hand shone even brighter, and the Blood Evil Qi it emitted caused the remaining Water Ghosts to shy away in fear, not daring to approach him.

When the tenth Water Ghost perished at Zhang Yuan’s hand, the rest retreated into the dark passage, howling.

They did not reappear!

This made Zhang Yuan breathe a sigh of relief.

The Red Blood Saber, though powerful and divine, was nearly beyond Zhang Yuan’s control, and he had to exert all his strength to hold it firmly.

If this continued, the Divine Soldier would likely rebel!

Moreover, while killing strange entities was incredibly satisfying, the Qi and Blood Value depletion was enormous.

It’s bound to be unsustainable.

Zhang Yuan quickly grabbed the golden box with his right hand and swiftly swam out of the sunken ship.

During this time, he did not retract the Red Blood Saber into his left hand, using the Divine Soldier’s suppressive aura to intimidate lurking strange entities.

As a result, he did not encounter any more Water Ghosts blocking or attacking him.

Before long, Zhang Yuan returned to the black-roofed boat.

He glanced at the Divine Soldier still in his hand, now dimmed of its glow.

Recalling the recent experiences, Zhang Yuan felt both lingering fear and exhilaration!
